I had a 2005 jdm sti through my hands, I personally didn't like the way it drove. Very smooth non dramatic power delivery.

as mentioned very linear power delivery, no thump in your back.

everyone will have different opinions, try both.

as above i didnt like the jdm power deliver either but the thing for me is it had no burble.

The burble wasn't so much of an issue with me, I actually quite liked the sound of it at full chat. It was just the smooth delivery of power I didn't like, maybe it was just because id never owned/driven a twin scroll before so it felt odd. That and im not a fan of newages anyway.... lol....

Had both and I've got to say I love the JDM twinscroll over the UK single scroll, It's already been said that it's more of a linear drive...In some respects smoother, The main benefit is the torque, You can get near 400lbft out of the Vf36/37's around the 3600rpm RPM range it makes for a very interesting drive, Each to their own but I'm converted to JDM these days

Is the linear power kind of similar to the evo 8 or 9 or am i wrong coz i kind of found it boring until i hit the pedal deeper

Same for me, I have a my05 jdm and had a uk car before and I like the twinscroll both power delivery and sound, only issue is the slightly higher revs on motorway but the 8k rev limit makes up for it. They are very deceiving as they don't feel fast.

I agree

yes the uk does give a kick but trouble is it doesn't lst long enough.

I've owned 3 UK and 2 JDMs I much prefer JDM but was just toooooo expensive to import nowadays

You can eat my spool, torque and rev limit you inferior UK 2ltr owner!

You want some more reasons why the JDM is a better set-up?

You have most answers from owners who swap from Uk to JDM

Is that what you do whilst waiting for the turbo to spool?

looking forward to see what the twin scroll set up is going to be like on my built 2.5 fully forged motor

Must say i did miss the burble when i moved from my type r to my Spec C, but after a few months of owning a twin scroll don't think i could ever go back.

Don't get me wrong there is nothing wrong with the burble, but times and technology have moved on and the plus sides of having a twin scroll setup far out ways the sound i lost. TBH i prefer the race car sound of mine with the miltek system, quiet(ish) at normal driving speeds and then opens up nicely on wide open throttle

Hi Mel, I have seen your posts a few times but have never seen your spec c, would you mind sharing a photo (just being a geek and nosey)

Personally I think Miltek are one of the best engineered exhausts out there. As you say it's quiet and docile at low speeds and really roars on wot.
That said nobody can deny that the burble is one of the quintessential characteristics of a Scooby.

Nah, I tend to use the time to change the CD to something more upbeat
